My finch may be egg bound - Birds

Hello, Deirdre -

I went to the Jayco web site. They have a page (well pages) for finding the right owner's manual.

This is the link:
https://www.jayco.com/owner/manuals/

Once on that web page, you will note that one needs to select the model year and then select the product category.

Since I do not know what year your Jayco Finch was manufactured, I could not begin to search for the right manual. You will have to do that.

Best wishes.

dont leave her so she can get attacked again

You just stay there calm. The chicken will do it properly after some days. Wait and see; what is going to happen.

I would use a pair of scissors and cut close to the egg shell

You want to keep her warm and in a very humid environment; we get a water soaked hot towel, put it in a clean bucket put the bird on top of the towel and then cover the bucket with another towel. while she is resting in the bucket go to the kitchen and get some apple sauce (hope you have some) get some olive oil or, mineral oil even, Vaseline will do.........heat you towel up again and let her sit another 5 minutes. Now get a q-tip and saturate it with your lube; you may want a helper for the next step.....gently restrain the bird in your hand abdomen down and out; have your helper feel between the pelvis bone to see if the egg is broken or not and where it is. Now gently use your q-tip with ky jelly or whatever on the tip and GENTLY lubricate the birds vent. Now gently use your middle finger and help the egg out by pushing gently in and down on the outside of her abdomen. Small movements is the key and did I mention be gentle. You are just massaging the egg out don't push too hard or you will hurt the bird and break the egg.........if the egg breaks just keep massaging her abdomen until it looks like everything is out. if you have a small syringe and a surgical tube you can evacuate the abdomen with sterile water.
Give the bird some applesauce if you know how; it will help her get cleaned out. Make sure she stays warm and has plenty of water. Keep calcium in her cage to help harden the next set of eggs. Good luck.

First I would discuss a vet, just to make sure it is an egg bound. You should be aware that Females cockatiels are known for becoming egg bound. To avoid this, make sure that your birds has adequate amounts of calcium in their diet.
